## Setting up a MetaMask Wallet

1\. Head to <https://metamask.io/download> - please ensure that this URL is typed exactly as shown here.

2\. Click “Install MetaMask” for Android, iPhone, or the relevant browser if using a desktop (recommended), and install the app or browser extension (desktop).

3\. Open the app (or the browser you installed the MetaMask extension on desktop) and click “Get Started”, choose whether to import and existing wallet or create a new one, and choose whether to share data with MetaMask.

4\. Create a secure password that you will remember. This password will only be used on this device. Remember, if someone has your seed phrase, they can access your wallet even without the password!

5\. If creating a new wallet, write down your seed phrase and put it somewhere safe where it will not be seen by anyone but you. Never share this seed phrase with anyone, ever. Complete the backup task.

6\. Use the browser in the MetaMask app on Android or iOS to navigate to <https://app.elk.finance>. On PC use the browser you’ve installed the MetaMask extension on and navigate to <https://app.elk.finance>.

7\. Connect your wallet.

9\. (Optional) Fund your wallet. That's it!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.elk.finance/user-tutorials-and-help/wallets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
